3) Herzlichen Glückwunsch (Congrats or Happy Birthday - there's no exact translation)
I colored a lot of images in hospital, now I try to use them. This little bird from purple onion designs needed some nature, So I combined him with Hero Arts 3 ferns.

Well I have to disagree with what you wrote at the beginning of your post: I think all of these cards are VERY innovative and creative!! It takes real talent to make such simple images and backgrounds come to life, yet you have done that beautifully. My favorite is the "See You Later Alligator" card, which I truly adore. The patterned paper is stunning, the sentiment is so cute and the alligator itself just jumps off the page! I think it's brilliant and I'm so glad that you shared your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!

Your pink and turquoise card is lovely! I love the effect of the patterned paper peeking out from your Silhouette-cut sentiment. Also the little kookaburra (bird) is cute in pink! Thanks for linking up with the Dynamic Duos this week.
